RE1206FRE07196RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RE1206FRE07196RL is a 196 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained while accommodating supply chain variations or specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RE1206FRE07196RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence: Resistance value must be 196 Ohms. Tolerance may be equal to or tighter than ±1% without affecting circuit performance. Temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C is maintained across all qualified substitutes.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package format must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility. Physical dimensions (length, width, height) must accommodate standard 1206 land patterns. Termination count must remain 2.

Power Rating: Minimum power dissipation capability must be 0.25W (1/4W) or greater.

Regulatory & Environmental: All substitutes must maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C or broader.

Composition: Thick film construction is maintained across all substitutes to preserve thermal and frequency response characteristics.

The RGC1206DTC196R from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RE1206FRE07196RL and RGC1206DTC196R maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The RGC1206DTC196R offers tighter tolerance specification (±0.5% versus ±1%), which provides enhanced precision for applications requiring stricter resistance accuracy. Both components satisfy RoHS3 requirements and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions without moisture bake-out requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements, supply availability, and cost considerations, as electrical and thermal performance remain equivalent across both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RGC1206DTC196R replace the RE1206FRE07196RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value, power rating, package format, temperature range, and composition. The RGC1206DTC196R features tighter tolerance (±0.5% vs ±1%), which is a performance improvement rather than a limitation.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor variations exist within standard 1206 tolerances. RE1206FRE07196RL dimensions are 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. RGC1206DTC196R dimensions are 0.122" L × 0.061" W (3.10mm × 1.55mm) with 0.030" max height. Both fit standard 1206 PCB footprints without modification.

Q: Do both parts require the same handling and storage procedures?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity concerns. Standard ESD precautions and dry storage conditions apply to both parts.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance for these resistors?

A: Both parts maintain ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. This specification ensures predictable resistance drift over temperature variations and is identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both the RE1206FRE07196RL and RGC1206DTC196R are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory status is equivalent.
